Calamarata

Calamarata is another of the pasta dies typical of the Campania tradition. This pasta shape, in fact, is very similar to paccheri, from which it takes its shape. It owes its name, however, to the resemblance to the squid rings, with which it is often accompanied.

THE NEAPOLITAN CALAMARATA

There is only one recipe that can really do justice to this pasta: it is the calamarata pasta. A typical dish of Neapolitan cuisine, which is based on a few ingredients: tomatoes and squid rings. The combined use of gold dies and a slow drying process at low temperatures will give the pasta the right degree of porosity, perfect for absorbing any sauce. In fact, the Neapolitan calamarata is not the only recipe used to prepare this pasta die. This, in fact, goes well with different types of fish, from seafood to swordfish. There are also those who use meat as condiment for the calamarata. Anyways, it is a pasta definitely worth tasting at least once!
